Living on Cape Ann is a gift because it’s a community. Real communities celebrate each person’s unique contribution. They also come together in a crisis and support each other. Now the virtual world and the real world are coming together for artists who have been the foundation of Cape Ann’s Creative Economy. One of our gems, is the re-launched local TV station, now called 1623 Studios. The leaders approached me to create a show that interviews 2-D and 3-D artists and organizations. Together with fellow artist and arts champion, Kristine Fisher, we are proudly doing just that on our new show Cape Ann ARTwaves .
To date, we have interviewed Jo-Anne Crawford & Loren Doucette from the seARTS and Rocky Neck Art groups, Stephanie Cole (Memory Sculpture), Matt Cegelis (Photographer), Chris Williams (metal sculpture), Beth Williams (glass artist), with many more to come! Spoiler alert – James McCleod, Jill & Bob Armstrong, Leslie Heffron coming your way soon. Please enjoy and share these wonderful stories in one of several ways. Follow the 1623 Facebook Posts that are teed up on Sunday night; join the 1623 Studios email list; follow the YouTube Channel and Instagram or just check out my Cape Ann Designs page where I will eventually have all of them posted as well. You will also see them on seARTS eblasts. Click through the photos below to see the featured artists!
